Hi, I want to convert some flash executable files to swf again. The visitors of my site do not trust the downloads of exe files. Any easy way to do it?
a flash file in exe? are you sure? cant say ive ever seen that. do you mean embedded inside an exe file (app)?
yes, I can extract the swf for you. Send me links to the exe and I will see what kind of wrapper it's using and send you quote based on that.
It's a stand-alone exe file. I guess it was used so that people don't need a flash player to run the flash file.
They still need to have flash player They just don't need to run it in a browser (with out embedding code, it will be stretched to the whole browser window, and look like s***) Uh.. Google is great: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=flash+exe+to+swf
Hi, if it's a standalone player i.e flash projector, you could use the tool elias pointed to, if it's a standalone wrapper like Zink or swf studio or mprojector or the like, this wont work and extraction has to be done by hand.
Thank you for the help. I found a tool for the conversion myself. Should have spent some more time on google.
I'd just like to point out that if you use a self-extracting flashplayer .exe and an embedded SWF, it will only run on windows. Many users, like myself, use OS X, and Linux, and an .exe won't work on it. But for us, Adobe has released the flashplayer. I know this requires every user to install the player, but that way it works on every operating system. hope this helps, innovati!
I used a program under linux a while ago that let me extract files from a game installer, it was called cabextract cabextract.org.uk enjoy!
